Civil Service commissioners on Wednesday voted to reinstate one of three Glendale police officers who were fired for allegedly taking a patrol car on a joyride to Las Vegas.
Commissioners voted 4 to 1 to reinstate Patrick Hamblin as a Glendale police officer, city spokesman Tom Lorenz said. A 90-day work suspension without pay would still be enforced, Lorenz told the Glendale News-Press.
"We support the findings of the Civil Service Commission," Lorenz said. "It's their job to make these determinations …. It's obvious in their findings; they do uphold very strong standards for employees in the city of Glendale."
Hamblin, who stopped working April 1, will also be reduced from a Step 6 police classification to Step 3 officer, Lorenz said. Step 1 is reserved for probationary officers while Step 6 is for the highest performers.
